Top of the Morning

I was looking for a place to launch my kayak, when I was so taken with this scene of the sun bursting out on that beautiful morning. This is one of the things I love about painting, it not only keeps me more aware of my surroundings, always on the lookout for images to paint, but I get to enjoy the moment later on at my easel as well.

Uplift (Sold)

I loved the branches of the Madrone reaching for the sky and down the waters of the sound.

Eventide (Sold)

This is one of the few oil paintings I have done. I was struck with the light and the patterns of light and dark as I was driving back to my campsite from the Wooden Boat Festival going on at Port Townsend, WA.
